Nowadays, the global warming is considered as a world problem because it influences the environment by increasing the average temperature of earth surface. One of the greenhouse gases that release from human activities and fossil fuels combustion in industry is CO2. Several technologies are...

This paper presents an exergy assessment for a proposed power generation system that is used the organic Rankine cycle to recycle the waste heat from a high-temperature proton exchange membrane fuel cell (HT-PEMFC). To do so, mathematical model for the studied PEMFC along with the water...

This paper presents a theoretical framework for the energy and exergy evaluation of a basic as well as three modified Organic Rankine Cycles (ORCs). The modified ORCs considered incorporating turbine bleeding, regeneration and both of them. The results demonstrate that evaporator has major...

Fossil fuels are exhaustible and their consumption causes environmental problems. As a result, renewable energy resources, specifically solar energy, should be utilized more to overcome the aforementioned issues. The biggest problem with renewable energy utilization is that their capital cost is...

Improving the efficiency and sustainability of water treatment technologies is crucial to reduce energy consumption and environmental pollution. Solar-driven devices have the potential to supply off-grid areas with freshwater through a sustainable approach. Passive desalination driven by solar...

Jaggery is a non-traditional sweetener that is produced from boiling sugarcane juice. Due to the energy intensive nature of the combustion process in jaggery making, previous studies in literature have presented various process and equipment modifications to affect its energy efficiency. This...
